ONTARIO CASINO CORPORATION ACT, 1993 / LOI DE 1993 SUR LA SOCIÉTÉ DES CASINOS DE L'ONTARIO
Consideration of Bill 8, An Act to provide for the control of casinos through the establishment of the Ontario Casino Corporation and to provide for certain other matters related to casinos / Projet de loi 8, Loi prévoyant la réglementation des casinos par la création de la Société des casinos de l'Ontario et traitant de certaines autres questions relatives aux casinos.
Clerk of the Committee (Ms Lynn Mellor): I call the meeting to order. Both the Chair and the Vice-Chair are absent. I would ask for a nomination for an Acting Chair.
Mr Gary Carr (Oakville South): I'll nominate Kimble Sutherland, if he chooses to stand for this position. This is for Chairman, not for his nomination for his next election.
Clerk of the Committee: Are there any further nominations? I declare the nominations closed and Mr Sutherland Acting Chair for the day.
Mr W. Donald Cousens (Markham): Does he get the honorarium?
The Acting Chair (Mr Kimble Sutherland): I formally call the meeting of the standing committee on finance and economic affairs to order. I believe we are still dealing with Bill 8, the Ontario Casino Corporation Act. I'm going to look for a little guidance on how we're planning to proceed. Are we going for the first amendment?
Clerk of the Committee: Section 19: There were several amendments in a package that was distributed to the members. They have all been moved and postponed.
The Acting Chair: Okay, so we're going to be dealing with amendments that had been moved but had been stood down. I believe the first one we're dealing with is clause 19(3)(a). I guess since it's already been moved, we don't have to move it again.
Mr Noel Duignan (Halton North): At this point, I would like to withdraw motion 19(3)(a). At this point, I also withdraw motion 19(4). Also at this time, I wish to withdraw motion 19.1. Also at this time, I wish to withdraw section 19.2.
The Acting Chair: Okay. Moving along, shall section 19, as in the bill, carry? Carried.
We're moving on to section 39.
Mr Duignan: At this point, I wish to withdraw motions 39(1) and (2).
The Acting Chair: Okay. Shall section 39 carry? Agreed.
Mr Duignan: Also at this point, I wish to withdraw the motion in relation to section 5.1 of the bill.
The Acting Chair: Shall the bill, as amended, carry? Agreed.
Shall we report the bill, as amended, to the House? Agreed.
Is there any further business at this stage?
Mr Duignan: I don't believe so, Mr Chair.
The Acting Chair: I believe we're going to have a subcommittee meeting just after we've adjourned. I would ask members of the subcommittee to hang around so we can discuss further business. The meeting is adjourned.
The committee adjourned at 1013.
